hey everyone,
How are you,today I have writing about a very important charity that is very close to my heart, Pendleside hospice. Pendleside Hospice is for people with severe illness e.g. cancer. At the minute they are doing a current
campaign called "keep your Hospice open" during this pandemic charities are loosing money which they desperately in need of. Obviously during this worrying,stressful and anxious time we need something to keep us distracted and occupied. So I have decided to make teddies with Pendleside Hospice on the front of them.
My Grandad last year was in Pendleside Hospice and they gave him the best care in the world. He had cancer and if wasn't for Pendleside Hospice they help through it.So I'm not only doing this for Pendleside Hospice I am also doing this for my Grandad. How to help? well there are plenty of ways to. This year I have decided to make Pendleside Hospice Bears I am going to sell these for a minimum of £5.00 and all the money will go to Pendleside Hospice. Obviously if your a non knitter or crocher then there are still ways for you to help you can donate money to Pendleside Hospice through these websites:
This is something that we can all do together.This is something that will get everyone together through our virtual devices and help us block out all the negativity of the world and just sit down with a nice cup of tea and just create together.Hope this inspires you to join in and get involved ❤️❤️❤️.
